NatWest Bank, a subsidiary of Britain's majority state-controlled Royal Bank of Scotland, gives notice that it is closing RT's accounts – without explanation. In this article detailed information has been presented concerning the issue.

Abstract: 
Excerpt:

The NatWest account closure is only the latest entry in the channel's saga in the UK.

Over the last couple of years, certain voices in the UK media – and the wider establishment – have been feeding a wave of hysteria over the channel’s presence in the British market. Here are the highlights:

October 2014 - Posters for RT’s "Second Opinion" ad campaign are rejected for outdoor posting by several London platforms for having what they called "political undertones." Instead, RT puts up a "redacted" version of the posters, which use the example of the Iraq War to draw attention to the importance of diversity in the news media.
